Farmer - Fishermen 1948 - Bergen / Florø - Vintage Film from Norway

Severdig opplysningsfilm fra Norge - 1948. Sildefiske, Bergen, Florø og gårdsbruk inderst i fjorden. Et liv som i dag, stort sett bare kan sees på film. Kvaliteten tilsvarer produksjonsåret.

From Louis de Rochemont's 'Earth and Its People' series.

That boy speaks perfect English! He even knows how to mispronounce Norwegian words like an American! 😆😆😂. Hello from Utah.

I figured the same. At the beginning I though he was one of those migrants that actually came over the fjord to work for a living :D Times has changed. Greetings from Norway

@@ogreunderbridge5204 It is hard to know who did the recording. But it is an enjoyable video regardless.
